Web probing - that is, the implementation of probing techniques from cognitive interviewing in web surveys with the goal to assess the validity of survey items - has recently found its way into the toolbox of (cross-cultural) survey methodologists. These guidelines present the origins of web probing, its developments, the current knowledge on its implementation, analysis possibilities and tips for the implementation of web probing in the cross-cultural context. These guidelines summarize the main findings from two research projects on web probing funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Wherever possible and existing, findings from other research groups supplement this overview.... view less

Unter Web Probing ist der Einsatz von Probing-Techniken, die ihren Ursprung in kognitiven Interviews haben, in Online-Umfragen zum Zwecke der Validitätstestung zu verstehen. Die Methode ist noch relativ neu, breitet sich aber stetig in der (interkulturellen) Forschungscommunity aus. In diesen Guidelines werden folgende Themen behandelt: Ursprünge des Web Probing, seine (Weiter-)Entwicklungen, das derzeitige Wissen zur Implementierung, Analysemöglichkeiten und Tipps für den Einsatz der Methode im interkulturellen Kontext. Diese Guidelines fassen das Wissen aus zwei DFG-geförderten Forschungsprojekten zusammen. Wenn möglich und bereits vorhanden, komplementieren die Ergebnisse weiterer Forschungsgruppen diese Guidelines.... view less
